Nursing Home Communities in Arvada, CO

"My mom is at Mountain Vista, she's been there two months, and we're pretty happy with it. The place is a little older, and could use updating, but her room is updated, and it's pretty nice. She claimed the food is good, and she eats plenty of it."

"I think the layout and the upkeep of Life Care Center of Westminster was very good. It was very clean and people seemed to be happy. It was also in a very nice little neighborhood. The staff was very nice and I met three or four people, including the director and a couple of CNAs. They were very friendly and they all interacted with the residents very easily. Actually, at that time, I think they were voting, which was interesting. Some of the residents had gotten a ballot and were voting."

"We were very impressed with that. We even put a deposit down because we thought we might go in that direction. The entire place is approximately 40 years old. It's been very well-maintained and we were impressed with the lady who led our tour through the place. We liked the situation of the duplexes so we put a deposit down. We looked at their independent living. Along with our visit and experiences we have with relatives who have been in this home, I would say we're very impressed. We have one relative who's still staying in independent living and one who had also stayed there in the past. I think our relative was the most active salesman for the place. He's very positive about his stay and he has lived there for 40 years so he's been there since they opened it and he's now in his 90s. It is expensive. Of all the places we looked at, it was the most expensive so you would have to have a reasonable income or savings to be able to afford it."

"Appreciate all the kind words and support I get from Rose on weekends when I visit. Thank you"

"My mother was a resident and I can not thank the staff enough for their care and treatment. My mother passed away but the treatment the staff gave my family during the time of our loss was phenomenal. My mother was honored and was taken from the facility with a blanket that covered her except her face and it was touching. I just wish there were other facilities that pay that much attention to detail and how it is to have a loved one in a nursing facility. Thank you all again from the bottom of our hearts.

"I have to write a review because this place has does wonders for my mother. My mother came from a nursing home in Iowa that fed her full of drugs. They closed their doors and I brought my mother to Colorado. A nurse friend referred me to Clear Creek and we could not be happier. My mother is the happiest she has been in years. She is narcotic free and the doctors are absolutely wonderful. The staff is so friendly with her and with me when I visit. My mother loves the music, bingo and interaction with other residents. We couldn't ask for better. Thank you Clear Creek!!"

"Out of all long term facilitates (and we toured many) we decided to put our mother in Wheatridge Manor. Great decision! The food is maybe not so good, but the staff is wonderful. She is happy thriving, and accepting of this part of life. Many, many thanks to nurse Sammi, very professional great heart. Thanks also to activities Sandy always smiling, super fun and knowledgeable. We are very happy and thankful."

"Allison Care Center is a very nice and clean nursing home. They're always remodeling and updating and that's a plus for me. It looks like they have all the amenities that you would want for your parents. Regarding my father's care, they seem to meet all the requirements. I also think that they have a good ratio of staff to patients. In their dementia unit, they have just hired a new activities director especially for that unit which is a plus to me. I also spoke to the administrator. She was upfront in saying that if my dad's aggressive issues weren't contained, he wouldn't be able to stay there either even if they do have an opening at that time. At that moment, I was taken aback a little by that, but knowing what I know now, I think I appreciate that honesty. "

"Little Sisters of the Poor care facility is run by Catholic Charities. It is a medium sized nursing home. There is another wing for just assisted living with apartments. It is as the name indicates for the poor and is extremely hard to get into as there is a waiting list. There are 19 little sisters that admiminister the facility and there are also registered nurses on each floor and only 5 residents per CNA so the care is exceptional. The amenities include two different style dining rooms, several activity rooms and exercise and recreational areas. The staff is paid at an above average rate and they are able to retain long time employees, some for over 20 years. The food is excellent and always varied. There is a ton of daily activities to keep everyone busy and healthy in mind, body and spirit. There is a chapel on sight with mass everyday at 11. Public transportation runs a regular bus through the facility and there are also outings in the van provided by the home. It is an exceptional example of what a long care facility should be, extra clean, no funny smells and warm and inviting! "

"We had to place my husband's grandmother in the facility because she was suffering from dementia. As a nurse, my concerns were about the staffing at any facility she was placed in rather than the building itself. I did go out to other facilities which were in pretty buildings and noted that there were insufficient staff members to care for residents, residents in soiled clothing, residents who had urinated or defecated in their clothes, etc. with little attention being paid to them. The building Evergreen Terrace is in isn't beautiful, by any means, but there seemed to be adequate staffing and we met with grandma's case managers monthly (initiated by Evergreen Terrace). They were very attentive to her needs and made sure that equipment that would keep her safe was ordered. How attentive and responsive staff is to their resident's needs is so much more important than the appearance of the facility itself. Evergreen Terrace was clean and all of the times we visited grandma there, I didn't smell urine and never observed residents who were dirty. "

"I toured Westlake Care Community in person, talked to the manager, and she gave me a tour, real nice and everything. She said she would just call me back, and she never did, it's been three weeks already. It was nice. It was very, very nice and clean. She showed me all the rooms. Everything and everything was good. They had private rooms, but they said that cost more. She showed me a shared room. They have a rehab, where you could exercise and stuff like that."

"My sister is in Sierra Healthcare Community. They have very nice people and it's a very good place. She likes it. They're very good, patient, nice, understanding, and seem to know what the patients require. They do craft projects, group get-togethers, and music. "

"My Father was a resident at Mapleton Care Center. He was there over a year and I can’t say enough about how much he enjoyed it there. The staff is very friendly and attentive. When he went into hospice they took excellent care of him. He was in another facility and it was terrible. I would recommend Mapleton Care Center if you want a place where people care about your loved one."

"Bethany Rehab Center is very nice and very clean. It has a very relaxing atmosphere with their furnishing and decor. It looks warm, welcoming and comfortable. It feels less like a facility and more like home. The staff is very friendly. They seem very knowledgeable and very welcoming. They also have activities for their patients. If Bethany Rehab Center had an opening at that time, that's probably where I would have placed my dad. "
